1'0 all whom it may (3071067731! Be it known that l, ZIVAN KRSTICH, a. citizen of the United States, residing at South Umuhu in the county of Douglas end State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Cops tor Ends of Cue Sticks, oi which the following, specification.

This invention reletes to it pool or biliisrd cue and more particularly to one, in which. the tip is detochuhly seqfured thereto.-

Another object of the invention'is to pro-- vide the one with it screw threaded sleeve having slots or grooves therein to receive longitudinally extending gripping members therein for engaging the tip and holding the some in position. A further. object of the invention is to provide on interiorly threaded ferrule which passes over the tip of the one end shuts the upper end of the cue, and this end is oesigned to screw threudedly engage the sleeve for holding-the tip securely in Plttfi.

A. still further object of the invention is to provide the ferrule with e circuler open ing; in one side thereof to receive sthumb 'screw therein to prevent accidental displacement of the ferrule from the cue.

Referring to the drawings in detail where in like characters of reference denote corresponding ports,

Figure l is at side View of the end or pool or billiard cue with my invention upplied thereto,

Figure 2 is n sectional View taken on line 2-2 oil" Figure 1,

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional View Figure lis e sectional view token on line %l--t oi. Figure 2, and

Figure 5 u detail tip.

Referring to the drawings in detail, numeral 1 indicates e pool or billiard cue and the upper end 2 is designed to receive it metallic sleeve 3 which is screw-thrczulcd, sold sleeve having grooves or slots 4: formed to receive longitudinal gripping members 5 which may be soldered or otherwise secured to the metallic member.

A ferrule 6 has its lower end interiorly threaded end is designed to pass over the tip 7 of the cue and screw t ircndedly c11- guge the metallic member 3, which 18 secured to the upper end of the: cue. The gripping members have fingers 8 formed on View showing the cue INlE" with. its. ttifltt.

the outer or upper end thereof st 9 for engaging the sides of the tip for holding the some in on associated position. .An opening it) is formed in one side oil the ferrule intermediate its ends end is designec i to receive a thumb screw 11 which passes through c. circular opening formed in the metallic member for ioreventing the accidental displacement of the ferrule from the upper end of the cue.

Among some of the edvunteges to he derived by the use of this device, it may he stnted that the frequent displacement of the tics of hillierd cues occasioned by the tincture or breakage of the glue or similar adhesive, and the resulting delay required for repairs, may be avoided, end it is also understood thnt the tips may he readily removed when injured or worn, to be replaced by new tips.

in view of the foregoing description of my invention, it is though that further exg ilunetion as to the construction. operation, erul objects of some are unnecessary.

While hare shown and described the preferred form of. my invention, I realize that various minor changes may he resorted to, without departing from the spirit and. scope of the invention as claimed, and therefore, do not wish to limit myself to the exact details of construction shown, nor to the combination and arrangement of parts.

What i claim us new hy Letters Patient is:

l. in combination with a. one stick, of it metuilic member secured thereto, said metallic mloer having ertternnl screw threads on, synced urine carried by said nietut .lic member extending therefrom, gripping lingers upon the freornds of suid urine, tip received between said arms, sold tip having); recesses therein for receiving said lingers, and a. ferrule adapted to he slipped over said tip and arms and three-(led on staid metallic member, said i'crrule receiving the inner end of said ti J to hold the some rigid and to olso hold the fingers in the recess in said, tip.

2. ln combination ivith u cue stick, of o, metallic member secured thereto, said metallic member having external screw threods thereon, spaced arms carried by suid moteluud desire to secure 'lic member and extending thercfroxmgrio ping fingers upon the Free ends oi sold arms, at tip received hetwecn said arms, said it'll Elli 8 meme ti} having opposite grooves therein for reto hold the same rigid and to also hold the 10 celving portions of said arms, said tip also fin ers in the recesses in said tip.

having recesses therein joining said grooves l n testimony whereof, I have affixed my for receiving said fingers so that the outer signature in the presence of two witnesses. 5 surfaces of said arms and the periphery of said tip will be Hush, and a ferrule. adapted Z V N R TICH. to be slipped over said tip and. arms and Witnesses: threaded on said metallie member, said EH05 R.
